zoned? (Score 1)

I don't think something like a software company requires zoning in most cities. When a city requires zoning changes, they are most likely concerned about store fronts or customer traffic. I operate a sales business out of my own home, and all I did was apply for a business license, a resellers permit, and a DBA in my city. That was all that was required. My neighbor (same building) has a network solutions contracting company, and he just set up shop with a business license and DBA. He also wrote off his car lease by putting a big sticker on it :-). Avoid renting office space if you can do it at home.
